🌿 About the Book
Dante arrives in the quiet coastal town of Te Kohe, New Zealand, determined to escape his past — a past involving a great many dead bodies and a very particular set of skills.
All he wants is solitude. No BnB to run, no bookshop to save, no small-town romance to complicate things.
But life has other plans…
Caught between nosy neighbours, chaotic newcomers, supernatural surprises, and the kind of trouble that refuses to stay buried, Dante’s hopes for a peaceful retirement are quickly derailed.
A funny, atmospheric, and refreshingly original cosy mystery perfect for fans of quirky small towns, found family, and a dash of the paranormal.
👤 About the Author — Naomi Kuttner
Naomi Kuttner writes charming, character-driven mysteries filled with humour, heart, and a little bit of magic. When not writing, she can be found exploring nature, collecting story ideas, and tending her own garden — hopefully with far fewer complications than Dante’s.
